BBC warned over spending
Culture secretary Jeremy Hunt yesterday warned the BBC must check its spending or face losing the trust of the public. He warned the broadcaster must be “on the same planet as everybody else” when it spends public money.
Speaking yesterday, he said: “As we’re having to be very careful about every penny of taxpayers money we spend, so the BBC should be very careful about the money that they spend. He also confirmed the government may axe the UK Film Council.
